This project aims to design a compact carbon capture system that can help small and mid-sized breweries reuse the CO2 they produce during fermentation. Over four months, the project will develop detailed system designs, technical drawings, and cost estimates to prepare the technology for real-world use. The work will also explore how the system can […]

The proposed research aims to test the relative merits of the “collaborative and adaptive root cause analysis” (CARCA) technique. Through this technique, the aim is to enhance Health, Safety, and Environment employers’ appreciation of complex events and phenomena associated with operational incidents, contributing to their professional development as joint thinkers. Various incident-based scenarios will be […]

This project aims to develop a sensor that uses electromagnetic waves to monitor the water content (water cut) in oil production systems in real time. The sensor has already been tested in a lab environment and shows promising results in detecting changes in water levels in oil–water mixtures. Through this project, I will work with […]

The Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council (ESCC) supports seniors-serving organizations throughout Edmonton. Currently, ESCC is implementing a 2-year Seniors Sector Inclusion Project (SSIP) to improve how these organizations understand equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) practices and how they welcome older adults from diverse backgrounds. The research intern will join the project team to find answers to […]

This project focuses on developing solar shingles that act as both a roofing material and a clean energy generator. The goal of this project is to refine the product design, build a go-to-market plan, and create a path to commercialization. These shingles are made from recycled materials and designed to be durable, weather-resistant, and visually […]

In industry, a wide range of specialized software is used for optimization, design, and simulation across sectors such as oil and gas, with significant adoption in regions like Alberta. These simulation tools are powerful but require users to possess advanced knowledge of mathematics, physics, and coding. Setting up and running simulations can therefore be complex, […]

This project focuses on advancing a carbon-negative biomass conversion technology that produces two high-impact products: a bio-based solvent for industrial and energy applications, and hydrochar for use as a regenerative soil amendment. Over four months, the intern will support the development of application-specific product formulations, engage with potential customers and offtakers to validate product-market fit, […]

We are developing a novel, low-cost microfluidic detection chip for rapid bacterial detection in milk, addressing critical needs in both maternal health and the dairy industry. Bacterial contamination in milk poses significant health and economic risks, from mastitis in breastfeeding mothers to large-scale spoilage in dairy production. Current diagnostic methods, such as culture-based assays, are […]

Public transit agencies in Canada often struggle to accurately measure and predict ridership patterns due to limited and incomplete data. Traditional methods typically rely on a single data source, which makes it hard to get a clear view of how people move across the transit network. Without this information, agencies find it challenging to match […]

We are developing a compact, autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform engineered specifically for operation in GPS-denied, confined, and hazardous environments. Designed for use in search and rescue (SAR), industrial inspection, infrastructure monitoring, etc., the platform addresses key limitations of conventional drones and ground robots, which often struggle with maneuverability, stability, and situational awareness in […]

A platform focused on making high-quality products more affordable and accessible to consumers by promoting a sense of community. The platform’s goal is to support smart buying decisions and empower users to achieve greater value in their shopping experiences. Our platform is committed to transforming the way people shop by making affordability a reality for […]

This project will support the business and market development of Conserve Tree, an innovative retrofit medical device designed to optimize oxygen therapy management in hospitals. The intern will help the company identify its target market, gather feedback from hospitals, and develop a business plan to support product launch across Canada and internationally. This work will […]
